Re: I want to know information on emancipation
The first step toward emancipation is to reach your 18th birthday. On that day a child becomes an adult for all purposes in Indiana. The only way a child can be emancipated before that age is to either get married (assuming your parent or guardian consents), enter the military service (assuming the service will take a person not yet 18) or to be adjudicated a CHINS or Deliquent Child and have the juvenile court enter an order emancipating you after a plan of emancipation is proposed and accepted. The last option is only used in very rare circumstances.
